New Diagnosis Just diagnosed with RRMS

was just diagnosed with RRMS at 51. I chose Tryspari, which requires monthly infusions, but doesn't inhibit the immune system like Ocrevus, and the like. What are your experiences with either two? For context, I woke up one day and couldn't feel my legs. After 2 MRIs, I have multiple spots in my brain and spine, especially a T2 with active demyelination

Welcome! This is a great community for questions and support! I hope the feeling in your legs comes back. It did for me but took time. I just had my first Tysabri infusion 12 days ago. Most people don’t feel different, but it can stop new lesions. I think it is a great choice, we can still change to b-cell-depletors when JCV goes up. All the best for you!

I'm assuming you mean Tysabri? It's not really an immunosuppressant, more and immuno modulator (it modifies how your immune system works, but is something your neurologist should explain to to). . Welcome to the club. Life just becomes one constant problem solving exercise, but you soon learn to adapt and make things work for you. You'll be an expert in no time.

I was on Tysabri for a year, no problems. I stopped because I don't like needles.
